I feel. . . .

like my baby has forgotten me. I have not seen him for 3 weeks and I am so afraid he has forgotten me. I see him for visitation on Monday and am afraid that he will not remember me and be scared of me when I hold him.

Does any mother on here know how long the memory of a 5.5 month old baby is? Am I afraid for nothing or is my fear justified. Please I am just trying to ease my mind.

I'm sure your baby will remember you. How can they forget the person that brought them into this world !!!
An u aak why its been so long ??? And. Why you only have visitation ??? That must be really difficult for you..

he is in a foster home and has been since the 18th of may. I am at home with my husband. We are fighting to get him back. We both have attorneys and should have him returned home on the 17th of this month, when we have court. It was all because I blogged my thoughts and feelings. I should have never blogged and just went to my doctor about it all.

thank you all for the kindness of you replies, and not being mean to me. I get to visit him tomorrow evening with my husband after he gets off work. It has been 3 weeks and the judge ordered that we see him no less than once a week, but the caseworker has not let us see him yet. She says tomorrow but we shall see if she is telling the truth. Gosh I hope she is I miss him so much. I have lost 30 pounds in 3 weeks and can hardly sleep without him in his crib. I worry if he is eating and sleeping. I wonder if he has finally gotten teeth, sitting up and doing things that he should. I am so mad at myself for having ppd and now missing a lot of his firsts. I feel like I am a total failure as a mom because I have ppd and my lo was taken. He is my everything, my whole world and I feel so empty inside without him.

Is there any way to report the case worker for not letting you see him for 3 weeks?? If the judge ordered no less than once a week then that case worker should be fired and you get a new one! Please don't be mad at yourself for having ppd, it can't be easy especially with having your lo not with you, but you will make it through this tough time and your baby will love you more than anything because you are his mommy. We are all here for you when you need us! ((hugs))

This might not be true but I was watching the movie double jeopardy and one of the women said she heard somewhere that even if a baby is separated at birth the child will always recognize the parents voice hope that helps (:

My heart is breaking for you. I can't imagine what you must be going through. What a terrible, hypocritical thing to take your baby because of something you could not control. It sounds like you got stuck with a heartless caseworker. I'm saying prayers for you that your little one is home in your arms soon. He will know you I promise.

this is coming from experience my nieces were both taken from my brother and his now ex wife (heartless who're sorry) and my oldest niece was only 5.5 months old when she was taken and she remembered my brother and her mom when she hadn't seen them in a couple weeks. my youngest niece was taken at 2 weeks of age and they didn't see her for a month and she remembered them. it is a horrible situation specially when you didn't exactly do anything wrong ppd isn't something you asked for or could control! my brothers ex's case was very different she actually did something to make cps intervene and in a way im glad they did so my nieces didn't grow up around her but in a way I wish they could have stayed with my brother. they are now 7 and 6 and know exactly who there dad and mom are (biological) but they are adopted by my brothers cousin and they are there parents but they love my brother just as much and unconditionally as there parents. im keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers hope everything works out for you and your family for the best!

Omg I'm soo sick for u. I can't even imagine. And seriously having ur baby taken away from u probably doesn't help ur ppd. It's like what I always thought when people go into a mental institution... A place like that could probably make a person crazier. Don't worry ur baby will be back in ur arms before u know it. Have faith and be strong. It will all work out. And I know u missed out on alot of "first" but u will have so many more to come. Xoxo

I found out this morning CPS are changing the visit to tomorrow, so I will not get to see him because I have group therapy at the same time and can not miss the group. I am on probation for bogus checks and have to go to the groups because my probation officer ordered me to. The caseworker knows that I have to go to the group and said that she will not change it. So my dh gets to see him tomorrow and I do not. I have spent all day crying, but I made my dh promise to take pictures and record lo laughing and just sounds of him for me. GOD I MISS MY BABY!!! I feel like CPS does not want me to see my little angel boy. I have to go to treatment also in 2 weeks and will be gone from my family for 4-6 months. I am a recovering addict (i have not used in 18 months) and alcoholic (have not drank in over 2 years). I am going to rehab because it is what is best for my family and myself. I go to meetings to help deal with things, because right now I feel like getting messed up. I have not used or drank and I do not want to. It is so hard though to see my los crib empty and all his stuff here. I also would like to thank all you mommas for being kind and not saying hurtful and mean things to me.

Do you all not remember this chick????? She is the same one who got ran off of the Jan board for holes in her story and then came to the Dec. board. Her FB said she had been in rehab but yet she was whining and cying to us that she had been in the hospital for PPD. Then she said she was not allowed to be alone with her child, so she went to the shelter to get get a nanny, who was lazy and did nothing... Then her husband went and spent $3k on some pots and pans... We showed no sympathy then why do it now just because she has a different screen name?

Regardless of anything she has said, she got her baby taken away from her. I cant imagine how hard that must have been on someone, anyone, no matter how much crap she has done or said she is going thru a hard time right now and any compassionate human being would feel bad.

I guess we should just go back to the overly used word.... TROLL! Someone who lies multiple times, exaggerates the "truth", and can't keep the stories straight. But why should she when there are those of you who can not see past the beautiful rainbow to see there are crazies on the other side.
